Overturned Truck Wrecks Happen for Different Reasons

We won’t speculate on the cause of the June 9 tanker truck crash on the New Jersey Turnpike. However, when a client comes to us after being hurt or losing a loved one in an overturned truck wreck on I-88, I-90, I-94, or another road, we work hard to find out what caused the crash. We may investigate, for example, whether:

A mechanical problem caused the accident.

The driver made a mistake such as speeding or braking too quickly.

The truck was improperly loaded.

Other factors led to the accident.

You can be confident that we will find out the cause of the crash.
